Folding Sunday - NYC, USA: Museum of Natural History
(Formerly Folding-Free-For-All)
Any OrigamiUSA members in or visiting the New York City area on the 4th Sunday
of each month are welcome to join our monthly folding meetings at the American
Museum of Natural History from 1:00 to 4:00 PM. Origami Sunday will be held
this Sunday (December 28, 2014) in Children's Lunchrooms in the basement of the
Museum of Natural History. This is the room mostly reserved for the fourth
Sunday meetings through the end of next year, subject to some changes.
Please bring folding paper plus something to share. It's especially appreciated
if you bring a model to teach, but if you're not comfortable teaching yet
please bring something else to contribute such as a model to show that you've
been enjoying folding, an origami book or newsletter others might find of
interest, or paper for the group. We will have a special sharing table" set
aside for display of models to teach, models to show, books, publications, and
paper contributions.
These monthly meetings are a continuation of the tradition Lillian Oppenheimer
began over 50 years ago of encouraging paperfolders to get together to teach
each other and exchange ideas. OrigamiUSA is able to provide a meeting space -
the rest is up to those attending. When you arrive at the museum please check
at any information desk for the meeting room number.
In annual tradition, the delightfully decorated Origami Holiday Tree has marked
the start of the holiday season at the Museum for more than 30 years. The tree
opens to the public on Monday November 24, 2014 in the Grand Gallery, near the
77th Street exit on the Museum's first floor. While not open to the public,
OrigamiUSA members are welcome to come to the lighting of the tree at
approximately 10:30 am. http://www.amnh.org/calendar/origami-holiday-tree
